I’ve finally arrived at my placement, which means that from now on my blogs should actually have something relevant to say. Dresden is a beautiful city on the Elbe with a population of 350 000 (I was told this by a man outside a pub so I may be wrong), and I am working at [...]

Werte Leserinnen und Leser, liebe Con-Stipendiaten, Wie jeder von uns, die oder der sich den deutschen Medien gegenüber nicht fremd verhält, bereits schon weisst haben wir das Glück im „deutschem“ Jahr in Deutschland zu studieren.
